If you can fly it right, I REALLY like Lone Wolf on Brath.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Vadering a ship with that many points added to it, but I've heard about it being done.

I've stolen this list from....someone on here that I can't remember.

Chiran0saurus Rex

Rear Admiral Chiraneau w/ Ysanne, Rebel Captive, Navigator, Engine Upgrade, and VI

Rexler Brath w/ VI

It works really well! I especially like using Navigator. Both ships are PS 10 and go after EVERYTHING. Use the VT-49 to arc dodge with boost and Navigator. Rexler is there for fun. It's really quite a good build. I've only played 3 or so games with it, but I haven't lost yet. Of course, I haven't faced a lot of B-wings, either. It can beat the IG-88 builds.

I will try this with Lone wolf on Rex

The trouble I've had with any Decimator build is if you go up against any build with 4+ ships you will get destroyed. I played a similar list with a friend against a 4-TIE w 2-Int build. I couldn't get past turn 6. We played 4 games because we thought maybe it was a fluke or something.

It does REALLY well against 2-3 ship builds. The only 2-3 ship build that I've had issues with is the Wookie Bus.

Don't get me wrong, it's REALLY fun.

Actually, the original guy (Klutz) said he tried it with Lone Wolf, but that he didn't use it much.

It is possible to try to avoid the nasty head on fight with a list like BBBB. You use Navigator and Boost to avoid as many firing arcs as possible. You might be surprised at how mobile it is.

I like the OP squad as well as the squad heychadwick posted.

Another thought is this:

99 Points

58 points
Rear Admiral Chiraneau
VT-49 Decimator
Veteran Instincts, Rebel Captive, Ysanne Isard, Engine Upgrade
41 points
Rexler Brath
TIE Defender
Veteran Instincts, Stealth Device

I have had good success with Rexler having Stealth Device and I'd rather have him stay around as the decimator is cannon fodder anyway with no defence.

My favourite Rexler build is with Boba.

100 Points

50 points
Boba Fett
Firespray-31
Heavy Laser Cannon, Veteran Instincts, Rebel Captive
50 points
Rexler Brath
TIE Defender
Heavy Laser Cannon, Predator, Stealth Device

I'm currently 10-2 with this build. Boba strips tokens and shields, Rexler uses the focus token to flip up crits.
